Ghana's framework for remotely piloted aircraft systems, administered by the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) via the Ghana Civil Aviation Directive (GCAD) Part 28 - Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems Directives (2018). It covers RPAS registration, commercial-operation licensing, a 400 ft altitude ceiling, a 10 km airport and helipad exclusion, and guidance for commercial operations. The framework underpins Zipline's medical-delivery network, launched in April 2019 and described at launch as the world's largest drone-delivery network.
